We had a great time in March! The weather was lovely and we spent a great amount of time outside playing with friends and family and exploring some of our favorite places.
Hank and Tyler got to have a special sleepover at the Cameron Park Zoo with his Cub Scout den. They got a behind the scenes tour with zookeepers and they got to see the zoo from another side. They saw where the animals stay when they are not on exhibit, learned about some of the things the zookeepers do to help the animals and Hank even got to pet a rhino and feed a giraffe! He and Tyler (and the rest of the scouts) slept in the observation room in one of the aquariums at the zoo. So special to go to sleep surrounded by beautiful fish and marine life! Hank continues to enjoy his golf class and playing violin.
We decided to stay home for spring break this year and we had so much fun playing with friends, visiting with loved ones, having a pajama day and spending a day in Waco with Tyler (who took the day off work to hang out with Hank). When we were in Waco, Hank wanted to visit the zoo again and he was interviewed for a local program about ways that kids can help the Earth. he talked about recycling, saving water and turning off lights when not in use. He also talked about the importance of harvesting wind and solar energy – they really enjoyed his interview. Few trips to Waco are complete for Hank without a visit to the Mayborn Museum. He had a great time there as always and even got to make hand-dipped candles while he was there. On our way home, Tyler test-drove a car he’s been interested in and within a few days, he became the proud owner of a new vehicle.
GG & Grandad came to visit and we went to the rodeo together. Hank had a great time there. He enjoyed riding the rides – particularly the ferris wheel with Grandad, a huge slide with Daddy and a roller coaster with Mommy. He ended up riding the roller coaster on his own a few times as well. We all enjoyed the animals and their athleticism and Tyler took some cool pictures during a few of the events. Hank had a great time playing baseball this month and we were all thankful for the gorgeous weather for his games! We had a very low-key Easter as we had the rodeo on Good Friday, Hank had a double-header that Saturday and we weren’t in the mood for massive celebrations on Sunday so we just enjoyed time together which was lovely. Here are some photos from our month in no particular order.
